Munchlax (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

==Biology==

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

===Evolution===

Munchlax evolves into {{p|Snorlax}}.

==Game data==

* [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A Munchlax belonging to the [[Herb Shop|Herbalist]] from [[Gateon Port]] might appear at a [[Poké Spot]] if [[Poké Snack]]s are left there, eating the bait in the place of a [[wild Pokémon]].

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Munchlax may randomly appear in [[Pokémon Square]] asking for {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}}. It will give the player a {{DL|Scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|Munch Belt}} in return. Despite being unobtainable in the game, it is programmed to evolve into Snorlax at Level 40, and is only capable of learning Tackle.

* [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]: A Munchlax is seen living in the [[player's house]], possibly belonging to {{gal|Mum|their mother}}.
